flat out fabulous

The Look For Less. Splurge: Nicholas Kirkwood / Save: Steve Madden

For years now “statement” shoes have often meant high, high heels and those of us who can’t wear them or just prefer a low heel have wandered the retail wilderness, foraging among more lackluster styles. But flats (and I use this term loosely, meaning any shoe with a heel of 1″ or less) are now having their moment, and one needn’t resort to vertigo-inducing and crippling silhouettes to find footwear with some beauty, drama and visual interest. Yes Virginia, there are awesome shoes out there you can actually walk in.

Whether you prefer pointy toes, menswear-inspired styles, embellished designs, or simply elegant, classic styles, if you love a low heel, the world is your oyster now.

Do you have a favorite brand or style of flat/low-heeled shoe? How do you style them?
